Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric's cotton content and weight are accurately declared on the commercial invoice, as classification depends on these factors
• The fabric must be classified as 'of yarns of different colours' and 'plain weave' to qualify for this item; consider obtaining a ruling from the CBSA if uncertain
• Be aware that the napping process does not affect classification, but the fabric must not be considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7
